Incompatible anchors for no reason

Hello, I am running into a strange issue. Trying to export a variable font, I get an incompatibility warning. Inspecting the glyphs in question, I see that the anchor setups are incompatible when I decompose the components:


However, my base components are perfectly compatible.

can you send me the file?

Sent, thank you.

The decomposition behaves slightly different when the make has a manually set anchor (with the anchor button in the info box). You can remove those manually set anchors.

And the “lam_alefWasla-ar” doesn’t need a “bottom” anchor.

and “behDotless_alefMaksura-ar.fina” misses a “bottom_1” anchor in the Extra Light master.

Thanks a lot for having a look so quickly, I really appreciate it. I will see that I fix it accordingly.

I’m very sorry, I don’t see what you mean. What anchor button in the info box do you mean?

My lam_alefWasla-ar is a composite, I don’t have a bottom anchor set anywhere.

My behDotless_alefMaksura-ar.fina has all anchors:

Sorry, this is my first time working on an Arabic font, so I’m not familiar with the way all the things work.

The one with the anchor symbol when you select a secondary component (one that is placed through anchor connection).

this ExtraLight has the anchor setting:


but not the ExtraBold

Thank you two very much! It works now.
